Old Age before Modernity - Christian Alexander Neumann - Bog

This book investigates old age and ageing in premodern times, with a special
focus on the Middle Ages. Perspectives from gerontology and the humanities, and
above all from history, are combined to provide novel insights. The gerontological
articles explain key theories and methods that are relevant for the analysis of
historical developments, while the contributions from the humanities offer
historical evidence complementary to these inputs.
